Record Description

This collection has an index which combines several other indexes, cemetery transcriptions, burial and other records from cemeteries in Queensland.

Cemetery records often give more information than church burial records. Cemetery records are especially helpful for identifying ancestors who were not recorded in other records, such as children who died young or women. They may also give clues to finding more information.

Tips to Keep in Mind

Be aware that large cemeteries are transcribed in sections. Be sure to look to see if the transcription you are using is of the entire cemetery or just a section of it.

Individuals were usually buried in a church, community, or private cemetery near the place where they lived or died.

Unable to Find Your Ancestor?

Try looking for a nickname for that ancestor, the nickname could be a shorter name for the deceased. Such as Joe for Joseph or Geo for George etc.

Search for a death certificate, that will give you a clue to where your ancestor's burial site is located, which the death certificate will help you in finding an obituary.
